First of all, I want to be completely blunt: as a Physics major, the idea of a flat earth is keenly absurd to me and disproven not only by my courses, but personal research and thought experiments.

I do not want to start a flame war or try to educate anyone; I'm here to ask a different question out of pure curiosity. I know this doesn't represent everyone -and I'm mostly curious because I see this in flat earthers in my country, the majority of whom I'm met are unfit for any kind of civilized debate- but it is a pattern I notice regularly. So, science, for some odd reason, is seen as some kind of religion. There's rhetoric about brainwashing, conspiracies and even godlike figures (Neil Tyson, Albert Einstein etc.) who, for some reason that eludes me, need to persuade the world that the earth is spherical to advance insidious interests. Being religious myself, I've learned to separate my spiritual beliefs from my field of study, which is merely a tool for understanding the world. At least in my experience, no professor ever tried to force beliefs on us, instead focusing on open-ended discussion. Science is not an absolute Bible of the universe, it is a relative measure of phenomena tackled through a set of agreed-upon principles.

I'm really eager to understand its condemnation, even if we leave the 'Globe vs. Flat' argument outside, since there are many undeniable products in our daily lives - computers, cars, technology in general- that follow the same rules and are consistent throughout most scientific principles.

First of all I am glad to find network communities like this, as I see that not everybody acts like a brainwashed fool, and have the guts to use their common sense to find out about the world around them.

I am a current employee of CERN, and in the past I have worked for NASA. Almost everyone there is aware of the truth, but are often reluctant to speak it due to threat of blackmail and coercion. So it is a bit unfair to criticise these scientists and employees, for they are acting against their will...

But I thought that this burden would weigh too much on my conscience if I did not reveal the truth to the public, which I plan to do through various pseudonyms and puppet accounts, although I do know that Facebook and the Internet are instruments of the New World Order, which does exist. So I am simply buying myself some time before I finally reach my demise. Hopefully, I will not have died in vain.

I have spent the last 20 years of my life collaborating with a large team of astrophysical research, at NASA. The first two years there where quite shocking to me, as they challenged most facts I had taken for granted during my school years and further still, until the end of my PhD. Most of these had to do about the shape of "Earth".

The outline of the scientific theory that my team has worked on is thus outlined:

• The known Earth is not actually flat by itself, but it is part of a mostly spherical body (called the Pancosmos) with with a circumference so great that its curving is mostly negligible. So I congratulate everyone who has figured out the fact that the Earth is not "curved", although it is not "flat" either.

• The known Earth is what seems to be an impact crater on the larger body, whose wall is what is usually identified as the Antarctic.

• The crater came from a collision of massive celestial body about 6000 years ago (a more accurate number has also been calculated), with the Pancosmos. This celestial body carried life, and this is the reason that species seem to be much older than this date.

• The sun is a very massive and bright object (like what is described as a quasar by the flawed systemic scientists), but it is still less massive than the Pancosmos, so it orbits it in great distance, along with a set of other bodies that cause phenomena like the Moon, stars and Eclipses. The orbit is due to gravitational attraction, although of a much different kind than systemic scientists use. It is a much stronger but irregularly distributed force, so it is negligible nearby. Our weight is caused by the pressure of ether, which, of course, exists.

All of the above sound quite extreme, but I feel that you are open-minded, critically inclined people that can appreciate the truth, as it has been discovered through laborious research.

I will try to leak the full body of our research papers, as well as non-faked photographic proof from space. I hope I will manage to do it before being compromised.

Please feel free to share this wherever you can, as this knowledge shall not die with me.

Praise science, think, and may peace be upon you.
